The Temporal PET Camera: A New Concept With High Spatial and Timing Resolution for PET Imaging
This contribution proposes a new temporal PET camera concept yielding a precise spatio-temporal localization of a scintillation event within a monolithic scintillator. This concept is promising for PET imaging. The key idea behind this concept is the ability of the system to accurately localize the region of detected un-scattered photons on the Si-PMT detector plane. Then, by ray tracing, an ac...
متن کاملHigh-resolution PET detector design: modelling components of intrinsic spatial resolution.
The development of dedicated small animal PET (positron emission tomography) scanners has led to significantly higher spatial resolution and comparable sensitivity to clinical scanners. However, it is not clear whether we are approaching the fundamental limit of spatial resolution. This work aims to understand what is currently limiting spatial resolution during data formation and collection an...
متن کاملA Prototype High-Resolution Small-Animal PET Scanner Dedicated to Mouse Brain Imaging.
UNLABELLED We developed a prototype small-animal PET scanner based on depth-encoding detectors using dual-ended readout of small scintillator elements to produce high and uniform spatial resolution suitable for imaging the mouse brain. METHODS The scanner consists of 16 tapered dual-ended-readout detectors arranged in a 61-mm-diameter ring. The axial field of view (FOV) is 7 mm, and the trans...
متن کاملIntroducing An Efficient Set of High Spatial Resolution Images of Urban Areas to Evaluate Building Detection Algorithms
The present work aims to introduce an efficient set of high spatial resolution (HSR) images in order to more fairly evaluate building detection algorithms. The introduced images are chosen from two recent HSR sensors (QuickBird and GeoEye-1) and based on several challenges of urban areas encountered in building detection such as diversity in building density, building dissociation, building sha...
متن کاملVery High Resolution Small Animal PET
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a leading technique in medical diagnostic imaging. PET scanners are used to detect cancerous cells through the use of a positron emitting tracer that is ingested by the patient. The positron annihilates with an electron in the body producing a pair of 511keV gamma rays emitted in opposite directions. The gamma rays are sufficiently energetic to leave the pa...
